Cooldown after the race, waiting for the raffle draw to start...

All in all, it was a good race. Frequent running at Ang Mo Kio west garden paid off (with Mama in tow). Also, the slopes at west garden really helped a lot in conditioning my stamina, running on a relatively flat surface was very much doable, I was able to run the entire length without pausing to catch my breath. I just had to slow down to grab water at water stations along the way. Thankfully, the veterans (read:50 years old and above) were classified in a different race category otherwise I have to suffer the humiliation of being overtaken by people a lot older than I am. Though a lady every now and then just simply overtook me.

Moving forward, I'm planning to buy a bike and start training for a 42km endurance race! I'm setting my goal on a mini triathlon. A full triathlon is way beyond my capabilities for now.

Marathon

I'll be joining a 10-km marathon this 8th of June. This has always been one of my dreams. I won't be competing though - it's more of a fun run with friends. I still have a month to prepare so I won't suffer the humiliation of being overtaken by a bunch of senior citizens.
